As long as we have our stories there is hope.

Active waiting means present fully to the moment, in the conviction that something is happening where you are and that you want to be present to it.

Suffering invites us to place our hurts in larger hands. In Christ we see God suffering – for us. And calling us to share in God’s suffering love for a hurting world.
